People in the Yanjiao tribe didn't know how many people lost sleep that night, nor did they know what the other tribes thought. Their thoughts were simple. Whatever the Shaman and the Chief told them to do, they just did. They didn't need to think about other things, they just needed to do their best.
When the fire was reignited, everyone felt that their totem power had changed a lot, and it was a good change.
That night, to the Shaman and the Chief's delight, another seven people were promoted to senior totem warriors. When they absorbed the fire crystals, they didn't directly break through, and were stuck until now. Unexpectedly, they succeeded that night.
Many people in the tribe said that when the fire returned to the old land, it was complete, and the ancestors' wish was fulfilled. However, Shao Xuan felt that although the fire seemed to be stronger than before, it was still incomplete.
Only half of the fire seed that had been split into two had returned to the old land. The Shaman didn't tell them. Because even the Shaman himself didn't know where the other half was, and he couldn't feel it.
In the morning, Shao Xuan got up early. He wanted to help Old Ke build a house, but he was summoned before he started.
Near the fire pit, there was a half-built stone house. It was for the Shaman. Other people's houses could be delayed, but the Shaman's house couldn't be neglected. The warriors who built the house didn't sleep all night, but they were not tired. They were still excited.
When Shao Xuan arrived, there were more than thirty people gathered around.
"Uncle Mai, why did the Shaman call us here?" Shao Xuan asked in a low voice.
"It seems to be about helping the wanderers." Mai replied.
"So fast?!" Shao Xuan thought that the Shaman would send people out when the house was almost finished.
Because they had been in contact with many wanderers like this, everyone knew their fighting strength. They were stronger than those who had not awakened their totem power, but they were still inferior to the real totem warriors. The Shaman hoped that everyone would help them, as many as they could.
The Shaman and the Chief had been discussing this matter after the ceremony last night, and the list had been finalized.
Shao Xuan looked at the people who had been called over. He was familiar with all the people gathered around the microphone. They were all from his previous hunting group. It seemed that they had to go out as a hunting group.
When almost everyone had arrived, Ao called everyone over. There was a piece of wood erected there and a few pieces of gravel piled up beside it.
Ao went over and stepped on the gravel. He unfolded the animal skin scroll in his hand and hung it on the top of the wood so that the people who were called over could see the drawings on it. What was drawn on the animal skin scroll was a simple map. This was the map that Shao Xuan had completed after collecting new information on the way to the old haunt.
Ao drew ten copies of these maps. There were about five hundred people who were called over. Each team of fifty people would act in a team. There were exactly ten teams, and each team would have one map. The leaders were all former leaders of the ten hunting groups.
The route had already been marked on the animal skin scroll, and each team was responsible for one route.
While assigning tasks, Ao gave a simple explanation of the route for each team. The tribes around the route had been marked. Perhaps not all of them were marked, but the important ones were all marked.
"Xuan, you go with Mai and the others. Take them to the grassland and meet the wanderers there. You have been there once, so you are more familiar with it than them." Ao said.
"Okay." Shao Xuan thought of the old man who sang the Hunting Song on the mountain. He wondered how the wanderers on the grassland were doing. Had they set off? Would he meet them?
After assigning tasks, Ao asked everyone to go back and prepare. They would set off tomorrow. The ten leaders were left behind. Ao had something to say to them. When they went out, the ten leaders would still be in charge of the team. They had to know many things that were inconvenient for others to know.
They had just arrived here and were not used to many things. This place was not like before, where they only needed to hunt ferocious beasts. Now, they had to guard against people. Most of the time, people were more dangerous than ferocious beasts. At the same time, they had to adapt to the rules here.
"Xuan, you stay too." Ao said.
In terms of understanding of this place, Shao Xuan was not as familiar as Ao.
In fact, Shao Xuan did not know much. But after hearing a lot, he summed up some things, such as the gossip Yang Sui had told him, the relationship between each tribe, who were more famous, and so on.
After assigning tasks, Ao asked the ten leaders to leave, but Shao Xuan still stayed.
"Anything else?" Ao asked, puzzled.
"Well, leader, I was thinking, when we go to the grassland, I want to see if we can exchange for some livestock such as horses, cows, and sheep. Although the Lu tribe also has some, I think the breeds on the grassland are more suitable for us. "Shao Xuan said.
Ao's eyes flashed, and he nodded, "Yes, the tribe does need some livestock."
Here, there would be more and more people. People in the tribe could not focus all their energy on hunting like before. The situation here was more complicated. Besides, there would be more and more people in the tribe who could not awaken their totem power. Whether it was the wanderers from the Yanjiao tribe who came back or the other wanderers who depended on them, the number would increase. They also needed to consider the placement of these people. They could not just let them live in the tribe without working or contributing.
Just as they had discussed before, the rearing and planting of the plants would be distributed to these people. They could not go out to hunt, but they could not even farm and raise livestock. The situation here was better than on the other side of the river. Some people who knew how to make pottery had already started making, and they were very successful. Others also needed something to do.
It would take too much time to completely tame wild animals. It was better to exchange some with people directly.
"You are right. Okay, I agree. Go! "Ao said.
Shao Xuan did not move.
Ao waited for a while, but still did not see Shao Xuan leave. He looked up and asked, "Anything else?"
Shao Xuan twisted his fingers, "Boss, water moonstones." Of course, he was waiting here to apply for public funds.
Ao suddenly understood. He just said that the other team leaders needed to get used to it as soon as possible, but he did not think of it himself. Here, to get something, they had to take out other things to trade with others. It was not like in the old tribe, where they could just use a few simple stones or a few wild animals. Many people did not accept food at all.
"Wait, I will get it." Ao walked to the Shaman. All the water moonstones were in the Shaman's wooden cart.
Shao Xuan left Ao's place with his share of water moonstones, and nine more for the other teams. He also told them what Ao Wangwang said. They did not need to bring livestock like Shao Xuan did. It would be better if they could buy some seeds.
They did not know which plants in the forest could be planted. The species were not stable. What if they died from eating the plants? People who had not awakened their totemic power were not as strong as totemic warriors.
Many tribes controlled their seeds very well, and sold them at a high price. They did not even reveal how to plant them. When the time came, they would have to figure it out by themselves.
After giving out the nine water moonstones, Shao Xuan went to find Mai. He saw Yang Guang and his sister talking to Mai.
Yang Guang and his sister were not among the people who went out this time. Not only them, but also the people who raised the ferocious beasts, except for Shao Xuan, could not go out. They and the ferocious beasts all had to stay in the camp. More than half of the people in the advance group had to stay, including the two team leaders.
Mai was annoyed by the siblings and said, "I can't do anything. If you want to talk, go to the chief."
The people who went out were all personally selected by Ao. Even if they had objections, they had to go to the chief. But it was useless. Since the chief made this choice, he must have his own considerations. Otherwise, why didn't anyone dare to go to the chief when there were so many people who wanted to go out with them?
Shao Xuan saw Yang Guang and his sister's bitter faces, and the two ferocious beasts who were so bored that they were kicking stones. He smiled and said, "You stay in the tribe. You have to guard against invaders."
After what happened in the Drumming tribe, Yang Guang and his sister had a clear idea of invaders. Thinking of the Wan Shi tribe, which was not far from here, Yang Guang and his sister narrowed their eyes. They thought that it was better to stay. Maybe they could catch some invaders.
The next day, Shao Xuan said goodbye to Old Ke and left the tribe with Mai and the others. Caesar followed, and Chacha flew in the sky. Caesar had already shown his face, so he did not intend to hide. As for Chacha, except for Shao Xuan, it did not listen to anyone. The others in the tribe could not do anything to it. As for the tribe's aerial warning mission, Guigou's white falcon was there, so there was no need to worry.
After being frightened, the people of the Wan Shi tribe did not dare to go into the mountains in a short time, not to mention that their fire seed had been reignited. The places covered by the strong fire seed were unfavorable to the people of other tribes. The closer they were to the fire seed, the more their totemic power would be affected, and their fighting power would be weakened. This was another reason why small tribes were easier to destroy, and big tribes were stronger. Because the fire seed of big tribes was stronger.
Although it was a short time, it was obvious that the Shaman and the chief were in a hurry. Fortunately, because of the reignited fire seed, everyone was not tired at all. Instead, they were full of energy, especially those who were on the list. They were more excited at the thought of meeting more people and things from other tribes. They were also envied by those who stayed in the tribe.
"Xuan, how long will it take for us to reach the grassland? Can we come back before winter? "Lang Ga, who was carrying the equipment, could not help but ask.
"It's a bit far, but we can definitely come back before winter. Even if we can't, the winter here is not as cold as the winter on the other side of the river, and there are no ferocious beasts. We can handle it. "Shao Xuan said.
"That's good." Lang Ga looked expectant again. A long time ago, his goal was to become an intermediate totemic warrior in his lifetime. Now, he was already an intermediate totemic warrior. He also felt that he might be able to become a senior totemic warrior in the future.
"My father said that we are the generation blessed by our ancestors." Lang Ga said with emotion.
The others also agreed.
But no one noticed that Caesar, who was walking in front, snorted, with a trace of disapproval in his eyes.
